The author has endeavored so to arrange the present work that it shall be adapted both to those who do and those who do not desire to make a special study of advanced mathematics. Believing it better that a student should learn a little thoroughly and understandingly than that he should go over many subjects without mastering them, the work is so constructed as to offer a wide range of choice in the course to be selected. The opening chapter contains a summary of the new ideas associated with the use of algebraic language, which the student is now first to encounter. His subsequent progress will depend very largely on the ease and thoroughness with which he can master this chapter. The next seven chapters correspond closely to the usual college course in plane analytic geometry; but the second sections of Chapters III. and IV., as well as some sections of Chapter VIII., may be regarded as extras in this course. If to this be added the part on geometry of three dimensions, we shall have a course for those who expect to apply the subject to practical problems in engineering and mechanics. The second sections of Chapters III. and IV., together with Part III., form an introduction to the modern projective geometry; a subject whose elegance especially commends it to the student of mathematical taste. The author has tried to develop it in so elementary a way that it shall offer no difficulty to a student who has been able to master elementary geometry and trigonometry.
